Our Last Full Day at Bethany Beach for 2016!

After a rather restless night, we were up early. We had decided to go the beach early today since it was the last day to play in the ocean.All of the ladies did some packing for tomorrow's departure and then the 10 of us were on the beach at Delaware State Park at Indian River Inlet by 9. It was a perfect day on the beach and the waves were just the right size for jumping and diving through them. We were probably in the water with the little ones three or four different times enjoying those activities.

What a great photo PaPa took!

In between the swim time, the granddaughters were busy playing in the sand.

PaPa enjoyed sitting in the "swimming hole"!

Lanie and Bob supervised the castle building at the water's edge!

We were back to the condo by 12:30 and had lunch. More packing took place before the 10 of us went to the indoor pool. Some of the group was "sunned out" and wanted to be indoors. By 3:30 everyone had returned to the condo, showered, laundry started, and more packing was underway.

PaPa does such a great job playing with the girls and theylove him so much!

Poor PaPa!

Hey, this is a heavy load!

Ken and I love watching the cousins havingso much fun together!

Samantha and Katelyn love their Uncle Dane!

Okay, the old folks needed a "time out" in the hot tub!!!

Love these happy faces!

Wonder what Dane is contemplating????

PaPa looks like he might need a nap or at least a "break"!

Dane and Bob left to do some errands and pick up take-out for dinner. Ken and I decided to eat the delicious leftovers that were in the refrigerator. Ken, Lanie, Jamie and I did find time to play 2 additional card games before the "boys" returned with dinner. While finishing my dinner, I noticed that I was the only 1 still sitting at the table. What was going on??? Before long the Happy Birthday singing began and a cake with candles appeared! How sweet! Bria, Cali, Samantha, and Katelyn were so excited to be part of the celebration!

The best way to celebrate my birthday is with my family....

....and I can always use some help blowing out the candles!

The little gals were in bed by 8 so there was time for the adults to watch the Olympics while playing 2 games of Skip-Bo. It was a great last family night of our beach vacation for 2016!! New Memories Were Made Daily!

About Me

Ken and I started dating at age 15 and got married in 1969 at age 19. We are the proud parents of 2 daughters and 4 granddaughters, the 4th one born
April 21 of 2011. What fun! This family just doesn't do boys!! In 2008 we purchased a 29' Winnebago Minnie with 2 slides and haven't been the same since!! We are positively having the time of our lives. In Oct. 2010 we bought an Open Range 5th Wheel and 3/4 Ton Diesel Truck. Took our 1st trip with it to FL in Feb. 2011. Loved it!! Many trips since Florida, and the fun and adventures just continue! In November 2013, we bought a new Winnebago Sightseer Motorhome. Ken had never owned a truck and only used it to pull the 5th wheel. He was so ready to go back to a motorhome and does he ever love it. Our 1st night in it was in Florida Jan. 2014. Florida keeps calling us back every year and so does more and more traveling. Ken retired June 30, 2013 and we are definitely Celebrating Life Daily!
